Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Mixed experience. Lovely staff who fitted us out. Unfortunately when returning the gear, the staff member accused us of disrespecting it. The pants were a bit muddy (due to thin snow) and he insisted on charging a cleaning fee. Was extremely rude about it. Would not recommend this place at all.

Greg was incredibly nice and extremely helpful
We rushed in with a last minute decision to visit lake mountain and he had us all ready to go in minutes eager for us to make it up to the mountain on time
The best service with a heartfelt smile
Thank you Greg !!

We booked accomodation in Marysville far in advance but because it was pre snow season we could not book Lake Mountain entry. (Car entry should be made bookable early in the year), then when we tried to book entry in season it was booked out. We ended going to Mt Baw Baw for the day. We hired chains and snow gear from Cross Country Ski Hire Marysville who were great and very accomodating, their customer service in store and after was second to none including returning hire equipment an hour and a half after closing. Thanks Cross Country Ski Hire Marysville for accommodating our party with grandchildren so that our grand children could still experience a fantastic snow experience.

We hired snow gear from here as it was conveniently located directly across the road from the Vibe hotel where we were staying. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. There were alot of customers in the store when we were there, but things were kept moving well as people were assisted through the process (ordering what you need, fitted out for clothing, boots, selecting toboggans, car chains etc). There was even an in-store video tutorial on how to fit the chains and a step by step instruction sheet provided. Reasonably priced, cheaper (and quicker) than hiring gear on the mountain. Easy returns process and open until 6pm. We'll definitely be back for our next snow adventure!

It was a bit of a drama today with the road to Lake Mountain being closed for several hours due to an overnight storm and massive trees blocking the road. We hired all of our gear for a family of five late afternoon the day before from Cross Country Ski Hire hoping for an early start the next day but but due to overnight storm some massive trees came down blocking the road for several hours.
Greg & Lianne and their excellent staff were very kind in letting us have all the hire gear for the following day without charge. This was an unexpected very kind offer so thanks for that and keep up the great PR.

I hired snow gear here during a long weekend and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Having never hired snow gear I didn’t really know what I needed and wasn’t sure what to expect but the service I got was fantastic. It’s so organised and way more affordable than hiring on the mountain. There is even a seperate gear drop off point at the rear which is handy when you are tired at the end of the day and want to get home quickly. Highly recommend!

Last year we hired gear from another place near this one, but they didn't have chains that fit our car, so we had to duck into this one for chains. My husband noticed then that they seemed to be much better organised and so we went there first up this year. Very impressed by the efficiency of their operation, good queue management, helpful staff, pretty straightforward to get in and out (even with six kids in our group!), and gear was great. Much better value than on Lake Mountain, and easy returns process. Highly recommend!

Needed snow gear on the way to Lake Mountain on the weekend and gave these guys a try. They were brilliant. So organised, well stocked with quality gear for the whole family. Reasonably priced and able to pass on valuable information about Lake Mountain.
Quick and simple process to hire.

Greg from Cross Country Ski Hire could not have been more helpful for my nephews first time ever snow experience. We have never had to encounter putting snow chains on our wheels but Greg was a brilliant instructor. Greg assisted in kitting us out with tobogans, snowsuits, boots and gloves for fantastic prize and memories we will have forever. We will be using Cross Country again in the future years we go back to Lake Mountain and would recommend them to anyone....say Hi to Greg for us if you do....

The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Great prices and availability. Returns were easy and convenient. Don't hire on the mountain, get everything you need here, plus the returns are due in by 6pm (unlike the mountain which is 4pm) so you don't have to rush around.
